Know the Hidden Agendas!

If you have been hurt on the job or have lost a loved one in a work-related accident, do not allow the employer and insurance company to take advantage of you. Having decades of valuable experience in the workers comp field, Georgelis, Larsen & Sabatino Injury Law Firm, P.C. has seen this, all too often, when someone does not have the right workers compensation lawyer protecting their interests.

When a work injury occurs, your company and its insurance carrier will immediately begin circling the wagons. This means hiring investigators medical, or nurse, case managers, trying to control your medical treatment and doing only the bare minimum that is required by the law, if that. Your benefits, livelihood and financial future could be on the chopping block if you do not have the right legal counsel to give you peace-of-mind with your workers’ comp claim and make sure that your employer and its workers compensation insurance carrier are playing by the rules.

In order to receive full workers’ comp benefits, injured employees must fulfill certain obligations and responsibilities. This is routinely thwarted, however, can be thwarted by employers and insurance companies who do not accurately convey what those specific obligations and responsibilities are. By doing so, they leave claimants in the dark, only to be victimized and receive a mere fraction of the wage loss, medical, specific loss and/or scarring/disfigurement benefits to which they otherwise would have been. The award-winning attorneys at Georgelis, Larsen & Sabatino Injury Law Firm, P.C. do not put up with that kind of notorious deception. Justice for the injured is at the heart of what we do, and we work, aggressively and relentlessly, every day to make sure our clients receive the maximum compensation allowed under the law.

Act Swiftly

As with any litigation case, time is of the essence! Act swiftly to ensure your workers' comp benefits are not jeopardized. There are some very important steps you must take regarding a work-site injury:

Report the Injury Immediately
Not reporting the injury in a timely manner can lead to a delay or denial of your claim. Your report should be in writing and include specifics concerning how the injuries happened and which areas of the body were involved. Document everything, through witnesses, photographs, etc., and request copies of any report your employer asks you to complete. Taking a phone photo as you complete each page of any report is prudent.

Request the Panel List
A panel list will include workers’ compensation medical providers – from primary care physicians to neurosurgical specialists to physical therapists. Be aware that, if you choose to visit a doctor or provider who is not on the list, your company and the insurance company are not obligated to pay for the treatment. Georgelis, Larsen & Sabatino Injury Law Firm, P.C. will be happy to answer any questions you might have, regarding this, and give you valuable guidance and advice about how to avail yourself of the best medical treatment.

Seek Prompt Medical Treatment
The longer the gap between getting hurt on the job and the initial treatment you seek out, the more difficult it will be to have your injury deemed to be ‘work-related.’  Documenting the mechanism of injury, the body parts you injured and your symptoms is critical to support your right to current and future indemnity and medical benefits through Pennsylvania’s workers’ compensation system.

Watch Out – Trickery Headed Your Way!

There are any number of situations that could hinder your workers’ comp benefits. Take, for example, the following:

• The insurance company could stop paying you at any time if it fails to file a ‘Notice of Compensation Payable.’
• An inaccurate or incomplete description of your injuries, as reported by the employer or insurance company, could limit your medical treatments.
• A ‘medical case manager’ – aka: ‘rehab nurse’ – hired by the insurance company may 1) convince your doctor (behind your back) that you can return to work before you are ready 2) state that your work restrictions can be reduced before they should be and/or 3) declare you are fully recovered when you are not.
